Curtis Jones Joins Inter Milan from Liverpool for £30m

Inter Milan have completed the signing of Curtis Jones from Liverpool in a deal that could rise to £30m, drawing a firm line under one of Anfield’s longest modern associations.

The Serie A champions will pay an initial £25.7m for the 25-year-old midfielder, with a further £4.3m tied to performance-related add-ons. Liverpool have also secured a 10% sell-on clause, while Jones has committed to a long-term contract at San Siro running until 2031.

It is a significant break. Jones joined Liverpool’s academy at the age of nine and spent 16 years at the club, progressing through the ranks before making his senior debut under Jurgen Klopp in 2019. From local prospect to first-team regular, he became a familiar presence in the squad.

He leaves with 228 Liverpool appearances to his name. Last season he featured 49 times in all competitions, but only 18 of those came as Premier League starts, a clear sign of his shifting role as the team evolved.

With just a year left on his Liverpool contract and his opportunities tightening under new head coach Arne Slot, the club chose to cash in rather than risk losing him for nothing. Inter, rebuilding and refreshing from a position of strength, moved decisively.

Jones now becomes the latest English player to head for Milan this summer, swapping Anfield red for Inter’s black and blue as he opens a new chapter in Serie A.
